D. That the design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use/development are
compatible with the existing and planned future land uses within the general area in which the proposed

may be objectionable or detrimental to other permitted uses operating nearby or adverse to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City;
E. That the subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use/development being
proposed; and
F. That there are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services

The Planning Commission is interested in hearing all views concerning the proposed CUP, and how it applies
to the required findings. It is suggested that the applicant prepare themselves to answer questions pertaining
to the required findings during the public hearing.
A staff report will be available at the Community Development Department public counter on the Monday
before the Planning Commission meeting. A copy of the report will also be provided to the applicant prior to
the meeting.
What happens after a decision has been made?
After publicly discussing the case, the Planning Commission may approve, deny, or continue the case to a
later meeting for further study.
It is important to know that if an application is approved, it does not become final until fifteen (15) days after the
date of approval. During this time an appeal may be filed by the applicant or anyone requesting that the City
Council reverse or modify the decision of the Planning Commission. An appeal may be filed and paid for at the
City Clerk’s Office in City Hall. The appeal will then be scheduled to be heard by the City Council which may
affirm, modify or overturn the Planning Commission action.
What are “conditions” of approval?
If the application is approved, the CUP may contain certain conditions affecting the proposed
use/development. The Planning Division recommends conditions to the Planning Commission for the
mitigation and/or improvement of the individual circumstances to ensure the compatibility of the use with
surrounding land uses.
For further information, please contact the Planning Division by calling (323) 584-6210 between 7:00 a.m. and
5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
